Diego Velazco

The series that began in 2016, is dedicated to gathering testimonies of national photographers who, both for their work and for their teaching contribution, have contributed significantly to the construction of the photographic space of Uruguay. Each copy includes a central interview in which the photographer is consulted about his/her relationship with photography from the beginning, in dialogue with the moments crossed by the country to the present day. In addition to the interview is a group of images that synthesize the stages and searches in the production of the interviewee, as well as a brief biographical review that gathers outstanding data and dates of his trajectory. This edition is dedicated to Diego Velazco (Montevideo 1967) who has received numerous awards at the national and international levels, both for his author photography as for his documentary, public and editorial photographic work. Velazco has participated in individual and clerical exhibitions in Uruguay, the United States, Brazil and other places.
